Re: Generating attributes from the position of an elem

Dear All,

Thanks for your answers, Michael I tried it out and it worked,
however, I have not so far managed to install Saxon to my Mac, so as a
temporal solution I am using a Firefox adds-on, called "Get XSLT
results" and it has two options for creating transformations, one is
the Saxon 9B, and the other one is called "Built-in XSLT", if I am
trying with the Saxon 9B option, it does not generate the id for this

<text>
<w ID=" " >car</w>
<w ID=" ">dog</w>
<w ID=" ">cat</w>
<w ID=" ">house</w>
</text>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    version="2.0">

<xsl:template match="@ID">
<xsl:attribute name="Id">
<countNo><xsl:number count="w"/></countNo>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><text>
<w Id="1">car</w>
<w Id="2">dog</w>
<w Id="3">cat</w>
<w Id="4">house</w>
</text>
